CELESTYAL CRUISES

SAY “KALIMERA!” TO THE REAL GREEK EXPERIENCE

SAY “KALIMERA!” TO THE REAL GREEK EXPERIENCE

The Greek archipelago is home to more than 3,000 islands. For more than three decades, however, cruising in the Greek seas has only focused on the same few popular islands, whose unquestionable beauty has earned them a deserved, permanent position on most itineraries.

As a destination-oriented cruise line and the foremost global Ambassador for Hellenic cruising, Celestyal Cruises is the Eastern Mediterranean’s local specialist, the only cruise line that can introduce passengers from all over the world to dazzling new gems in the Aegean, islands whose authenticity and unspoilt beauty will leave them breathless. These undiscovered jewels are why we launched our Idyllic Cruises in 2014, which were immensely popular with new and returning passengers.

Taken from the definition of “idyllic,” which means “blissful” and “picturesque,” our Idyllic Aegean itineraries are truly blissful – we sail our passengers to some of the most stunning and fascinating destinations in this ancient, beloved sea.

Unspoilt by development, the islands of Chios, Ios, Kos, Milos, Samos and Syros are new windows to the unique, magical beauty of Greece, while Cesme, in Turkey, welcomes its guests with a colourful blend of ancient history and modern glamour.

At each of our destinations, as well as on board our ships, our passengers will experience authentic, warm-hearted “filoxenia” – it means “hospitality” in Greek, and it is embodied in the warm greeting from the locals everywhere we dock.

In addition to the legendary ancient sites visitors to our country can explore, our passengers will also visit some of the finest beaches in the world (where they can swim in clear cerulean waters), stroll picturesque harborside streets, tour grand cathedrals and savour the delightful Greek wines, spirits and delicious meze in seaside tavernas.

For 2015, we have added new Adriatic cruises! Make the Adriatic your own with comprehensive cruise that gives you Dubrovnic, Kotor, Saranda, Corfu, Patras….and Venice. We cordially invite you to a treasure hunt that takes you to straight to treasure after treasure. As the only home-porting cruise line in Greece, we’re proud to make these new ports of call part of the real Greek experience only Celestyal Cruises provides: legendary Greek hospitality, stellar Greek cuisine and wines, cozy accommodation, outstanding entertainment and incredible special themed events that immerse our passengers in archaeology, culture, cuisine, history and music. No other cruise line offers all this!
